i
was gonna write a heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, deeply-moving entry
about this past year, the shit that's happened, the good times that
came & went, bonds that've been broken and friends that've been
made, and a whole list of resolutions & wishes &
hopes & dreams for the new year, but then i realized if you wanted
that you could read the other 98123238292 xangas out there. and really,
no one but the people involved truly give a shit about how your year
was, so why bore people by talking about it? no reason. no reason at
all.so all i'm gonna say is this. people always fool themselves
into thinking "new year, new start." but a new year is never truly a
fresh clean slate for you to draw on. all it is, is another day that
people ages before us decided was the end of one measurement of time
and the beginning of another. what makes today different than any
other day of the year? nothing. you don't
suddenly drop all forms of contact with the people who, when
you're around them, make you dislike yourself. you don't suddenly find
yourself surrounded by people who are, to your definition, the "ideal
friends". you don't wake up to find yourself in a relationship with the
guy/girl that is the perfect compliment to you, cream to your sugar
& butter to your toast. where am i going with this? i don't know
myself. just something that occured to me tonight, seeing all this
stuff about "i'm gonna make myself a better person" and whatnot. i
guess what i really mean is this: you wanna change yourself? don't
expect a miracle. don't think writing 2004 instead of 2003 for a date
is gonna make a difference. let's just all take this one day at a time.. little by little, bit by bit. and eventually, you'll look back and see that you are different from how you were before, even if you didn't notice the changes as you woke up each morning.

this is a very lovely winter layout! anyway, you're absolutely right on people believing that trying to start anew in 2004 gives you a clean slate. it takes hard work and dedication without expecting miracles to happen. keep up the good entries!
time to change ur layout into another beautiful work of art ! i miss christmas already =(
nicely said. very true too.
happy new year.. that shit was long as hell, but i had to read wut tha amazing christine had to write..
see u in skoo
helloo... this is definitely one of the best logs I've read in a long time. mmm... as for me, the main reasons I look forward to 2004, would be new cars and college. =) ... wait. but do I really look forward to college?
all dat was oh so tru.. but u kno.. new year is liek valentines day.. it just gives ppl an excuse to do things dat dey cant commit themselves to do b4~ and yea changes r really gradual.. but i guess it makes ppl feel better bout themselves if dey convince themself that they CAN change for the better.. and i guess once u get pass the mental part.. then that in itself is progress =)
happy 18th birthday!! yayyyy.
